bakerboy Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 nobody looks at the bead when aiming at the clay :blink: the bead is in your Peripheral vision which allows you to relate this to the target. This section comes from COACH Seeing the amount of rib is purely a personal thing. If you like your gun to shoot flat then you don't need to see any rib merely the bead.If you like the gun to shoot slightly high as do I and most people, then you need to see a little rib. This will stop you lifting your head off the stock to see the target killed because the gun will shoot very slightly high together with the gun putting 60/70% of its shot above the barrels which shotguns do. The pupil must be dead centre over the rib. If its not then you will need more or less cast. The shot guns with a central bead are there to just make sure that when you mount the gun, the central bead acts as the bottom of a figure of eight and the front bead is the top part of the figure of eight. If you get a perfect 8 your gun alignment/fit is very good but not necessarily perfect at the heel/toe. : If it ain`t broke, fix it. In that case i donot understand what this bit means, sorry for being thick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 only look at your mount in relation to the rib and beads when your dry mounting. its just a check on your mount. if everything lines up ok as it should you should be ok to shoot some targets, at which point you no longer at the rib/beads (because you know they are ok from the dry mounting) you look at what your shooting at.

COACH Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If it ain`t broke, fix it, means :- If you haven`t broken the target, fix that by having a lesson with a coach with a good reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COACH Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Yeah, absolutely But it`s nice to be able to make a meager living out of the thing you love doing the most. I definitely get more of kick out of getting people to hit the target regularly than I do getting 50/50 my self any more. Especially if they are a top shot that has lost form or a lady.

Now I understand. But just to let you know the gun has been fitted, the clay's do break, so i will carry on as i have been for the last XX years bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
